Just register and create your sandbox for free https://docs.bonsai.io/article/326-creating-a-new-account Use the data of the sandbox in AdminCP. It is a fully functional but very limited tier. Then upgrade to what tier you need.

So I actually spun this up with using the Elasticsearch vs Opensearch.  Gonna have to say it was dirt easy not to mention I can turn it on immediately.  I did my re-index and immediately needed to bump the plan up to the $20/month plan which seems to be enough for now.

Here is the guide I used to install opensearch 2.0 on centos 7

Install OpenSearch 2.0
java
sudo yum install java-11-openjdk-devel
java -version
 

OpenSearch -> https://opensearch.org/docs/2.0/opensearch/install/rpm/
sudo curl -SL https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch/2.x/opensearch-2.x.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/2.x.repo
sudo yum repolist
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum list | grep opensearch
sudo yum install opensearch
sudo systemctl start opensearch.service

First Test
systemctl status opensearch.service
curl -XGET https://localhost:9200 -u 'admin:admin' --insecure

Added when starting linux
sudo systemctl enable --now opensearch

Disabling security -> https://opensearch.org/docs/2.0/security-plugin/configuration/disable/

echo -e "\n# To disable security\nplugins.security.disabled: true" >> /etc/opensearch/opensearch.yml

systemctl restart opensearch.service

Second test
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200
{
  "name" : "srv.xxxxxxxx.com",
  "cluster_name" : "opensearch",
  "cluster_uuid" : "gNoLRKpERSOmQS9raXqUig",
  "version" : {
    "distribution" : "opensearch",
    "number" : "2.0.0",
    "build_type" : "rpm",
    "build_hash" : "bae3b4e4178c20ac24fece8e82099abe3b2630d0",
    "build_date" : "2022-05-19T00:25:28.444553037Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "9.1.0",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "7.10.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "7.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "The OpenSearch Project: https://opensearch.org/"
}

optimization -> http://wiki.centos-webpanel.com/how-to-install-elasticsearch
sed -i -e 's|-Xms1g|-Xms2g|g' /etc/opensearch/jvm.options
sed -i -e 's|-Xmx1g|-Xmx2g|g' /etc/opensearch/jvm.options

 

Amazing.  Thank you.  So much easier than Elasticsearch.  

One problem though, for me...  OpenSearch has updated since this article.  Everything on the server is happy and working great, but IPS is not happy.

 OpenSearch version 2.1.0 is not supported.

Perhaps if I wait to make the change for awhile, it will be supported....

I'm setting up a new server and about to install either ElasticSearch or OpenSearch.

Is OpenSearch officially supported?

I believe this is what you are looking for here.

Yes, we tested Open Search (this community is using Open Search right now). As @13. notes, it currently uses the same API requests and returns the responses in the same format as Elastic Search.

I think in the future you may see Open Search become the preferred implementation (in general) due to the ES licensing changes.

Anyone know the best way to install OpenSearch for Ubuntu? according to OpenSearch, "The tarball is a good option for testing and development." There isn't a repo for Ubuntu as far as I know.

Marc,

Any info regarding OpenSearch 2.1.0 ?  When I installed, it was the version available in the repository, but I get a "not supported" error currently.

Thanks

 

[Andy Millne]

Opensearch support has been confirmed for 2.1 and the error will be removed in a future Invision Community version.

@Andy Millne what about Elasticsearch the available version now is 8.4.2, yet IPS 4.7.2.1 still cannot run anything more than 7.0 version less than 8.0.

As of yet, we do not support version 8 on the platform.

@Sonya* and @HDiddy did you settle in on your OpenSearch installation/provider?  Wondering how the pricing worked out.  I noted Bonsai goes from $20/month then up to $700/month, that's quite a jump.

I'm still using the $20/month plan on my hosted account.  The community I manage is not the largest thing in the world so it seems to do the trick.

Elasticsearch has released version 8.5.2, and we haven't heard anything from IPS staff about it. 🙂

There is no news I am able to give on this front at present. So at present you would simply continue to use the current supported releases

I have just spoken internally to see what the plan is for this. Currently we support Elasticsearch and OpenSearch, however they forked somewhat after version 7. At present, the plan is to focus on OpenSearch. Note, this may well change of course, but thats the plan currently.

[Afrodude]

Thanks @Marc Stridgenfor taking the time to get us some extra information. 🙂

No problem at all. Appreciate you had been patiently waiting to see what was happening there 🙂

The recommendations is to use OpenSearch instead of Elasticsearch?

On the current version, you can actually use either, as they are compatible with one another. However its likely we will focus on the opensearch route going forward.
